Born in Antwerp in 1941, Harry Gruyaert was one of the first
European photographers to explore the creative potential of colour
in the 1970s and 1980s. This book brings together his best work,
including images from his renowned 1972 series TV Shots and the
later Made in Belgium, in one beautifully produced volume.
Influenced by such American photographers as Saul Leiter, Joel
Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, as well as by
cinema, Gruyaert's work defined new territory for colour
photography: an emotive, non-narrative and boldly graphic way of
perceiving the world. His photographs are autonomous and
self-sufficient, often independent from any context or thematic
logic. A member of Magnum Photos since 1982, he has embraced the
possibilities of digital photography in his most recent work,
feeling that it allows him to take more risks and capture new kinds
of light.
